Police learned there had been some sort of argument between the woman and another delivery driver. During the argument, Crowson says both drivers pulled out handguns and fired at each other. The female driver then drove herself to 10th and Dorothy.
The male delivery driver stayed at the shooting scene on Shepherd Drive and Crowson says he has been talking with officers.
Police say they will continue talking to the man as well as other witnesses and then contact the Harris County District Attorney’s Office to see if any charges will be filed or if the case will be referred for additional investigation.
